Condition subsequent

Also called: subsequent condition

ELI5

An event that can end or alter an existing right or obligation.

Used in conversation

“The draft mentions condition subsequent, but the scope and jurisdiction are still unclear.”

Pitch context

You will see “Condition subsequent” in board papers, contracts, policies, risk registers and compliance reports when the discussion reaches core contract language.

Why it matters: In core contract language, a loose definition can change rights, obligations, approval, disclosure or enforceability.

Caution

Meaning, enforceability and required process vary by jurisdiction and agreement; this definition is not legal advice.
